If you could care less if they add theming, then you do care some. Otherwise, you couldn't care less.

Terpy...in your heart you knew he would (and he misses TR:TR, too)

I care enough to say I don't give a rat's ass. Please, please, Interpreter, twist that into something funny. I'd love it.

Since you don't give them, do you sell rat's hineys?

Terpy, who only kids people he likes...as he's said before!

I'm practically giving them away!

I'm just glad you didn't say you were giving ME away.

I might have deserved that one!

Psh, I wouldn't do that to ya, Terp.

I Like the idea of the shelter as mentioned earlier, but ever since the ride changed to the crypt ive never been back in. Ive seen videos and it seems a little dull and could definately use some improvement.

Videos can't do justice to the ride's movements. Actionwise, it is far better than Tomb Raider: The Ride ever was.

Really, all the Crypt needs is some blaring European techno music and flashing colored lights. Oh wait....

That was a filler for the first week when it opened....and it was awesome!

Seriously, the ride program is AWESOME. I *LOVE* the new Crypt. It's intense as hell, and there's always something different or new when I ride it. (Pretty regularly) I could careless if they added theming. Epic fail my ass!

You don't have to have theming to have a great ride.

Notice that I said my opinion...which did, indeed, mean my opinion. I'm sorry, but I prefer the fully emersive ride it was to Dark Box: The Ride anyday though it does provide a more intense and fast paced thrill.

Could be turned into a fallout shelter ride?

....especially during Halloween Haunt?

I mean if they insist on the dark only at least it would be nice if it was dark. But you can see the empty building it really has no effect.

On the contrary, you have air conditioning, the loud sound of the ride operating, and change falling. Nothing like a little ambiance.

Ahhh yes the faint sound of nickles falling.

I don't know what would be the best theming for the Crypt. There are so many places to go with it. But like so many movies gone wrong, most of these places need specific talent and research to be done right. ( Example: Compare 90's Batman movies with Batman Begins or The Dark Knight ) I think that a Dinosaur excavation would make a good theme for the Crypt. It would not fit the name though. With the proper special effects and visuals, time travel could be a good theme. A really cool planetarium would be another good idea, especially if it looked like you were traveling between the stars with some amazing visuals. In other words, a virtual reality ride with the best motion seats ever!!

Just a thought

Hey i actually like the old bayman as well with its campy humor and pschedelic feel.

I haven't been on TR:TR since it switched over to The Crypt... that said, I'd like to see them gut any theming they have now and install Phantom Theater's Maestro figure into the ride.

They could remove whatever is in Shiva's old location and put in the Maestro figure that was playing the organ in the old Phantom Theater queue there surrounded by a giant pipe organ mock up. As the ride starts, Maestro would play some disturbed Victorian era music that would get faster as the ride goes on. Throw in wind and fog machines coupled with strobe lights, and you have a relatively low cost installation that not only reuses material that park owns, but also brings back a bit of nostalgia. The main entrance and holding area can reuse the old portraits and figures from the rest of the original ride.

Call it Maestro's Mayhem, and you're all done.

Kind of like a Carosel on wrong...I...like....it...

did anyone ride the crypt yesterday? If so what was it like?

I managed to get on it yesterday. I forgot to include it in my TR. I hadn't been on it since they re-made it from TR into The Crypt, so I was excited. Overall, I really liked it actually. I especially liked the theming in the two waiting areas. The ride program is plenty crazy, and overall it had a pretty dark, creepy feel to it. Although it leaves a lot to the imagination I guess. There's not much to look at in the ride room any more. That's the only thing I think they can improve on. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. Spooky stuff is always fun

The water effects are back- there was a puddle on the ground when I rode.

I noticed that too! But yesterday, they had the drums and flutes play.

From what I've gathered, the queue for The Crypt was re-worked because of DB. For anyone that went to the park yesterday, was this re-work elaborate enough that it looks like it'll be there for awhile, or possibly just good enough to just last a season or so?

They just removed the outside queue lines. It is all now actually inside "The Crypt". They also play music in there now, which I don't remember from last year.

I didn't get to actually ride the ride because it broke down, as it often does, but from what I hear the water effects are back Looking forward to riding it next weekend.

Sounds like they improved it!!

ya they have the crypt sign basically the same setup as The Beast with 2 queue lines outside then into the cave. i didnt ride it because the line was outside the cave and i was waiting for giga.

I got inside the cave and to the first room early (around 10?) on opening day. The queue needs some TLC. There was trash and coins on the floor from last year. Ride broke down before I could ride and was escorted out a side exit.

which water effects? The Founting like ones or the Stalagtights water dripping. Either way I can't see any of those two in sync with the ride, cause it doesnt stop facing up or lower down slowly in its program.

New and improved Crypt?? No way, I am gonna have to go check this out Sunday.

I wanted to ride it Saturday but it was broken down. We waited in line for 30 min. with it being broken down and they not telling us until we got out of line.
